FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare?


Hello members,

I really need your help to resolve this issue that has been going on since 12/14/2021. It is now 1/1/2022 and I still have only 1 amplifier that is working and hopefully NOT damaged.

I noticed that many of you are very fond of the Cary 805 monoblocks.
I have purchased a pair and have had 3 amplifiers destroyed by FEDEX Ground.
Any idea how I can get one without having the AMP DESTROYERS ruin them?
CARY ships them in WOODEN CRATES and they still are damaged.
FEDEX also totally ruined one of them by sending it via truck to MINNESOTA - 1280 MILES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION !!! I live in NEW JERSEY.
What would you suggest?
Can I force FEDEX to ship them by AIR to Newark airport? FEDEX CLAIMS/REVENUE SERVICES TOLD ME yesterday that the shipper can request this if FEDEX truck delivery keeps damaging my sensitive electronics.


Should I drive to North CAROLINA - 600 MILES IN ONE DIRECTION?

The FEDEX drivers are NOT able to left the 130 pound wooden crate off of the truck or into my house. Many of the trucks don't even have a hand truck and if they do, the drivers refuse to use them.

One delivery person actually tried to hoist the wooden crate from the driveway onto his shoulder. I stopped him before he fell over backwards!

CARY has been fantastic, but FEDEX is making this into a never ending nightmare!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Mike

I forgot insurance, do you have your own C130 insurance? That would help, the best I can do is another 100K and no personal liability if the parachute drop hits the neighbors Kangaroo, or God forbid Granny, watering her Opium Poppy.

My first suggestion is to move from NJ to NC.  If that isn't practical, then FedEx Freight is the way to go.  Enjoy your new Cary amps.

Given the size of these amps I was sure you were going to ask if he has his own C130.

+1 for Old Dominion Trucking

They delivered 130lbs speakers for me without issue

Used a lift to lower from the truck and a powered pallet jack from the truck to my garage

Outside of the boxes had a couple of crushed areas and compressed corners, though no punctures

Someone 18 or older must be home to accept the delivery and they're not allowed to bring the package into your house, trust me I tried $$

Driver also allowed me to enter notes on his handheld device indicating the condition of the packages
